Large‐magnitude Miocene extension in west central Arizona occurred primarily along three imbricate, northeast dipping normal faults. The structurally highest of these faults, the gently Buckskin‐Rawhide detachment fault, accommodated approximately 66 km crustal extension, whereas two lower faults a total about 20 extension. Due to this large‐magnitude an area at Earth's surface that was 10 wide is now over 100 wide, and crystalline rocks with mid‐Tertiary mylonitic fabrics, uncovered by...
Increasing awareness of the impacts global climate change on marine ecosystems and concerns about shifting bioclimatic agricultural zones necessitate a reassessment geographical distribution Earth’s types. In recent years, availability truly data-sets has allowed for application climatic types, including Kӧppen–Geiger system, over oceans. This research uses NCAR Reanalysis data to create ‘Extended classification’, world ocean, 1981−2010 averaging period. The percentages surface covered by...

Climate types, biome and soil orders are commonly used among physical geographers in research to describe natural environmental characteristics. However, little attempt has been made quantify the percentage of global land surface that is covered by combinations climate biomes, orders.

Among the sciences, practice of geology is especially visual. To assess role spatial ability in learning geology, we designed an experiment using: (1) web‐based versions visualization tests, (2) a geospatial test, and (3) multimedia instructional modules built around QuickTime Virtual Reality movies. Students control experimental sections were administered measures orientation visualization, as well content‐based examination. All subjects improved significantly their scores on There was no...
The Maria fold‐and‐thrust belt (MFTB) is a narrow of Mesozoic crustal shortening that trends east‐west across west central Arizona and adjacent southeastern California. It characterized by generally south vergent folds thrusts commonly displace Proterozoic crystalline rocks over deformed metamorphosed Paleozoic strata. MFTB cut to southeast trending mid‐Tertiary extensional deformation. Extension was large displacements on low‐angle normal faults, known as detachment isostatic uplift...
AbstractTo promote active learning and increase student involvement in their own knowledge construction, we have implemented the use of concept sketches, which are simplified sketches that concisely annotated with processes, concepts, interrelationships, addition to labels features. When instructor-generated, they help students see how organize explain our knowledge. Students can generate after seeing animations, video clips, photographs, detailed textbook-style illustrations. They also...
Cenozoic magmatism in southwestern Arizona, which is within the Basin and Range tectonic province, occurred almost entirely between 15 25 Ma. Volcanic rocks typically consist, ascending order, of (1) a thin sequence mafic to intermediate lava flows, (2) voluminous felsic flows pyroclastic with minor moderate amounts (3) basalt andesite. rock sequences rest disconformably on pre‐Tertiary bedrock most areas but locally overlie substantial coarse clastic debris that was deposited immediately...
Subparallel ridges and troughs in the outer belt of Arden Corona, on Uranian satellite Miranda, are interpreted as tilt blocks formed by extension normal faulting. Fault scarps generally face outward from corona, exposing dark material subsurface. Reconstruction faults along a deep rift zone bounding corona suggests initial dips ∼50°. Local reaches ∼70%, extremely high comparison to previous estimates strain icy satellites. A rise adjacent is modeled flexural indicates an effective elastic...
